20R4880 Caterpillar Starter Motor 24V 7.8kW 10T

20R4880 Caterpillar Starter Motor Sourcing Control for Wholesale Buyers

B2B approval of 20R4880 starts with the 24V, 7.8kW, 10-tooth clockwise configuration and the stated use in Caterpillar vehicles and equipment cross-referenced to 20R4880. Confirm the complete label, flange, drive-end geometry, pinion and terminal position before a sample or production lot is released for the buyer's stock.

The distributor record for 20R4880 should connect the reference group 20R4880 / 3949674 / 4280001150 with Caterpillar vehicles and equipment cross-referenced to 20R4880. Add the old-unit label, mounting-face image, terminal view and receiving result to that record. Reuse it for repeat quotations, but create a new revision whenever the supplier changes the suffix, housing, pinion or electrical rating. A disciplined record reduces avoidable substitutions during urgent replenishment.

20R4880 Starter Motor OE Cross-Reference Review for Fleet Replacement

Use 20R4880 as the primary purchasing reference and cross-check 3949674, 4280001150. These numbers identify the candidate starter family, but approval still requires the exact suffix, electrical rating, drive end, mounting geometry, pinion and terminal layout to match the removed unit or signed sample.

20R4880 Starter Motor Bulk Fitment Approval for Wholesale Supply

Confirm the complete 20R4880 / 3949674 / 4280001150 group together with the 24V, 7.8kW, 10-tooth clockwise configuration. Similar appearance or a shared partial number is not enough; compare machine serial range, engine plate, mounting nose, pinion position, terminal clocking and installed clearance against the removed unit or approved sample and keep the signed sample with the purchase record.

20R4880 Starter Motor Wholesale Receiving Inspection for Distributor Sourcing

For a wholesale shipment, sample units across the 20R4880 lot rather than inspecting only the top carton. Compare electrical rating, drive-end geometry, mounting bores, terminal position, housing protection and lot identity with the approval record and document pass, fail and hold quantities. Do not mix a disputed suffix or drive-end version with cleared stock, even when the outer housing looks alike.

20R4880 Starter Motor Distributor FAQ for B2B Supply

What makes a 20R4880 RFQ technically complete?

Send 20R4880 and all visible OE numbers, the full application or engine record, required quantity, destination and target delivery date. Add clear photos of the label, drive end, mounting face and terminals, plus any dimensional drawing available. State packaging, private-label, sample and inspection requirements at the start. A technically complete RFQ lets the supplier quote one verified configuration and reduces clarification delays after price approval.

How are MOQ, samples and repeat orders managed for 20R4880?

The standard MOQ is 20 pieces, subject to final order confirmation, and a sample or pre-production approval should precede volume release when fitment evidence is incomplete. Mark the signed-off sample with 20R4880, buyer application and revision date. Repeat orders should reference that same approval plus any packaging specification. If the supplier, suffix or physical design changes, treat it as a new approval rather than assuming the previous decision still applies.

Can 20R4880 be supplied with private-label packaging?

Neutral packaging and private-label review are available for qualified orders. The carton and inner protection should prevent movement, terminal damage and contamination while keeping the product reference, lot identity and quantity readable. Private-label artwork must not remove the technical identifiers used for fitment and claims. Agree label content, barcode needs, carton strength and destination handling before production so the packaging supports both sales presentation and receiving control.

How can distributors reduce disputes on 20R4880 claims?

The standard warranty is 18 months under agreed sales terms, but a claim still needs traceable evidence. Record the invoice or lot, installed application, old and supplied references, installation date, symptoms and electrical test results. Include photographs of the unit, terminals, mounting and pinion. Do not dismantle or discard the product before instructions are agreed. Complete evidence speeds technical review and prevents a battery, wiring or ring-gear problem from being misclassified.

Which OE numbers should a distributor match for 20R4880?

Use 20R4880 as the control reference and compare the complete group 20R4880 / 3949674 / 4280001150. A cross-reference narrows the candidate, but it does not prove that every suffix has the same rating or mounting. Keep the removed-unit label, drive-end photograph, mounting-face view and rear-terminal view in the approval file, then connect that evidence to one quotation and purchase line so repeat orders remain traceable.

Where is 20R4880 commonly used, and what still needs confirmation?

Confirm the complete 20R4880 / 3949674 / 4280001150 group together with the 24V, 7.8kW, 10-tooth clockwise configuration. Similar appearance or a shared partial number is not enough; compare machine serial range, engine plate, mounting nose, pinion position, terminal clocking and installed clearance against the removed unit or approved sample and keep the signed sample with the purchase record.

What specification mismatch creates the greatest risk on 20R4880?

Confirm the complete 20R4880 / 3949674 / 4280001150 group together with the 24V, 7.8kW, 10-tooth clockwise configuration. Similar appearance or a shared partial number is not enough; compare machine serial range, engine plate, mounting nose, pinion position, terminal clocking and installed clearance against the removed unit or approved sample and keep the signed sample with the purchase record.

Which configuration checks prevent a mismatched 20R4880 order?

Confirm the complete 20R4880 / 3949674 / 4280001150 group together with the 24V, 7.8kW, 10-tooth clockwise configuration. Similar appearance or a shared partial number is not enough; compare machine serial range, engine plate, mounting nose, pinion position, terminal clocking and installed clearance against the removed unit or approved sample and keep the signed sample with the purchase record.

Which mounting details should be compared before ordering 20R4880?

Compare the machine serial range, engine plate, mounting nose, pinion position, terminal clocking and installed clearance with the removed starter. Check bolt-hole spacing, locating diameter, starter clocking, pinion rest position and rear-terminal clearance instead of judging from the outer housing alone. Never pull a misaligned unit into place with mounting bolts. A measured or photographed fitment record is especially valuable when nearby references share the same voltage and tooth count but use another drive-end or solenoid orientation.
